However, soon the snores of passersby filled the air, rising and falling in waves, combined with the incessantly flickering neon lights, the city became somewhat strange.
The sudden surge caught everyone off guard. It wasn't until the unaffected people drove into the area that they discovered something amiss. They called emergency numbers, but no one answered, as if they had entered a scene from a science fiction movie. Most of the newcomers turned around and headed back, then towards the nearest police stations.
An entire city suddenly paralyzed, and a major one in the west at that, was a very serious matter. Surrounding counties immediately organized police forces to enter the city, but the scene they encountered was too horrifying. Moreover, having never dealt with such an incident before, neither firefighters nor police knew how to handle the situation.
Instead, the locals from surrounding areas who heard the news had already begun recording everything on their smartphones.
